You flip a switch and the lights come on. Your outlets work without sparking. Your breaker box isn’t hot to the touch, and you’re not wondering if something’s about to go wrong.
That’s what proper electrical work looks like. Not just code-compliant installations, but systems that handle what you’re actually using them for—whether that’s running a home office, charging an EV in your driveway, or keeping your HVAC running through a summer heatwave.
Most homes in Lake Ronkonkoma are dealing with electrical systems that weren’t designed for how we live now. You’ve got more devices, higher loads, and equipment that didn’t exist when your house was wired. A professional electrician in Lake Ronkonkoma, NY doesn’t just patch problems—we make sure your system can handle what you’re asking it to do, safely and reliably.
Marra Electric has been handling electrical work across Lake Ronkonkoma, NY since 2004. We’re fully licensed and insured, and we’ve seen just about every electrical issue a Long Island home can throw at us.
From older colonials with outdated wiring to newer builds that need panel upgrades for modern loads, we know what Suffolk County homes require. Our trucks are clearly marked, our team shows up on time, and we give you a price before we start—not after.
We’ve earned the Angie’s List Super Service Award seven years running because we do what we say we’re going to do. No upselling, no surprise charges, no leaving you in the dark about what’s happening with your electrical system.
You call or contact us with the issue. We ask a few questions to understand what’s going on—whether it’s an outlet that stopped working, a breaker that keeps tripping, or you need something installed.
We schedule a time that works for you and show up when we say we will. Our electrician walks through the problem with you, figures out what’s causing it, and explains what needs to happen to fix it. Then we give you an upfront price.
If you’re good with the estimate, we get to work. If it’s an installation or upgrade, we make sure everything’s up to code and tested before we leave. You get a clear explanation of what we did, and if anything needs attention down the road, we’ll let you know. No guessing, no wondering if it’s actually fixed.

We handle electrical installation services across Lake Ronkonkoma, NY—panel upgrades, generator hookups, EV charger installations, lighting, outlets, and full electrical inspections for home buyers or sellers. If it involves wiring, breakers, or electrical capacity, we do it.
Panel upgrades are one of the most common jobs we handle here. Homes built even 15 years ago weren’t wired for the electrical load most families use today. You’re running smart thermostats, multiple computers, kitchen appliances, EV chargers, and central air—all on a system that was designed for a fraction of that demand. Upgrading your panel isn’t just about adding capacity, it’s about safety and reliability.
Generator installations have also become a priority for Lake Ronkonkoma homeowners, especially after storm-related outages. A properly installed standby generator means your fridge stays cold, your sump pump keeps running, and you’re not scrambling for extension cords when the power goes out.
We also handle electrical inspection for home purchases or sales. If you’re buying a house in Suffolk County, you want to know what you’re getting into. If you’re selling, you want to fix problems before they kill a deal. We’ll walk the property, test the system, and give you a clear report on what’s safe, what’s not, and what should be addressed.
If your breakers trip regularly, your lights dim when you run certain appliances, or your panel is warm to the touch, those are signs your system is overloaded. Homes built before 2010 often have 100-amp or 150-amp panels, which aren’t enough for modern electrical demands.
Most homes today need at least 200 amps to safely handle HVAC systems, kitchen appliances, EV chargers, and everyday electronics. If you’re adding new equipment or your home feels like it’s constantly on the edge of tripping a breaker, it’s time to have a licensed electrician in Lake Ronkonkoma, NY take a look.
We’ll assess your current load, check your panel’s condition, and let you know whether an upgrade makes sense. It’s not always necessary, but when it is, it’s one of the most important electrical investments you can make for safety and functionality.
Installing an EV charger isn’t as simple as plugging something into an outlet. Most Level 2 chargers—the kind that actually charge your car overnight—require a dedicated 240-volt circuit, similar to what powers your dryer or oven.
We start by checking your electrical panel to make sure it has the capacity to handle the additional load. If it doesn’t, we’ll talk through whether a panel upgrade is needed first. Then we run the appropriate wiring from your panel to wherever you’re parking—garage, driveway, carport—and install the charger according to manufacturer specs and local code.
The whole process usually takes a few hours, depending on the distance from your panel and whether any new circuits need to be added. You’ll end up with a safe, code-compliant charging setup that works every time you plug in. And if you’re planning to sell your home down the road, having an EV charger already installed is a selling point.
You can legally do some electrical work on your own home in New York, but that doesn’t mean you should. Electrical work is one of the leading causes of house fires—over 50,000 residential electrical fires happen every year, many from improper installations or repairs.
A licensed electrician in Lake Ronkonkoma, NY knows the National Electrical Code, local requirements, and how to install or repair systems safely. We also carry insurance, so if something does go wrong, you’re covered. If you DIY it and something fails—or worse, causes a fire—your homeowner’s insurance may not cover the damage.
Beyond safety, there’s the practical side. Electrical troubleshooting isn’t always straightforward. What looks like a bad outlet might actually be a wiring issue somewhere else in the house. We’ve seen plenty of “quick fixes” that turned into bigger problems because the root cause was never addressed. Hiring a professional electrician saves you time, risk, and often money in the long run.
It depends entirely on what you need done. A simple outlet repair might run a couple hundred dollars. A full panel upgrade typically falls between $2,500 and $5,000, depending on the size and complexity. Generator installations range from $4,000 to $10,000 depending on the unit and hookup requirements.
We give you a clear estimate before we start any work, so there’s no guessing. That estimate includes labor, materials, and any permits or inspections required. If something unexpected comes up during the job, we’ll talk to you before moving forward—not after.
One thing to keep in mind: cheaper isn’t always better. Electrical work done wrong can cost you a lot more down the road in repairs, safety risks, or failed inspections. You’re better off paying for quality work once than paying twice to fix a bad job.
If you see sparks, smell burning plastic, or your panel is hot to the touch, shut off power at the main breaker if it’s safe to do so, and call an electrician immediately. Don’t try to troubleshoot it yourself—electrical emergencies can escalate fast.
We offer 24/7 emergency electrical service in Lake Ronkonkoma, NY for situations that can’t wait until morning. That includes power outages isolated to your home, exposed wiring, smoking outlets, or anything that poses an immediate safety risk.
For less urgent issues—like a single outlet not working or a light fixture that went out—you can usually wait for a scheduled appointment. But if you’re unsure whether it’s an emergency, err on the side of caution and call. We’d rather walk you through it over the phone and find out it’s not urgent than have you wait on something that’s actually dangerous.
Yes. We provide electrical inspection for home buyers and sellers throughout Lake Ronkonkoma, NY. If you’re buying a home, an electrical inspection tells you what you’re walking into—whether the panel is up to code, if there’s outdated wiring like aluminum or knob-and-tube, and what repairs or upgrades you should budget for.
If you’re selling, getting an inspection done early lets you fix problems before they show up in a buyer’s inspection and derail your deal. We’ll test outlets, check the panel, inspect visible wiring, and give you a detailed report on what’s safe and what’s not.
This isn’t the same as a home inspector’s electrical walkthrough. We’re licensed electricians who know what to look for and how to assess whether something’s a minor fix or a major safety issue. It’s a small investment that can save you thousands in negotiation or post-sale surprises.
